Veterans

We’re a good fit for anyone with a strong work ethic, appreciation for safety, and proven leadership skills, but we especially love working with military vets. Careers at DLC will allow you to transfer your military skills into a career that is Larger than Light.

Thanks to our SERVICE program (Search Engage Recruit Veterans into Civilian Employment), we were named a winner for the 2017 Most Valuable Employer by RecruitMilitary for our recruiting, training and retention plans that best serve military service members and veterans.
